Return of the Lost Jitney

by John T. Griffen

 

Brian Layne is a ramp agent with International Airlines who becomes involved in a series of mysterious and unpredictable events.

After losing his job for breaking his supervisor’s jaw because of a racial slur, Brian turns to being a jitney to support his family. His relationship with his wife takes a negative turn when he finds her in bed with another man.

Brian finds the other man dead in a deserted street in the Pittsburgh Northside.

Now a suspect in the murder, Brian is hired to assist in the investigation by the dead man’s mother. Brian falls back on his training in criminal justice and reluctantly aids the distraught and grieving woman. What he finds is life-threatening to other people and to himself.
